Well, we went to the first spot in Greenland and Jon took out his binoculars and said he could see the little guy inside the hole in the tree. So, we got out our camera equipment....well, needless to say, my lenses paled in comparison to Jon's wildlife lens, so I was looking through his lens. The little guy was sleeping, but we could see him slightly opening his eye. So, after a little bit, we decided to let him sleep and move onto the next spot in Exeter.
When we got to the place, we saw another woman walking around the area with her camera and tripod. We looked where she was heading and sure enough, there was the little screech owl sitting in the hole in the tree! He was sooooo cute!!!! I could see him with just my eyes from my car...as Jon puts it, "it looks like a little stuffed animal in the tree." So I grabbed my camera, headed over to where the woman was and got a couple shots (not great shots, but at least I can prove I saw him!). Jon came over and was setting up his equipment and before he could take a picture, the owl was gone! Guess he didn't like to be the center of attention!....We waited for a bit, but the little guy was not coming back out. Oh well....we will just have to head back there another time. Next birding expedition we're going to try to photograph bald eagles....Jon knows where some hang out.....stay tuned!
